I paid about $US300 when all was said and done. The documents were only a few dollars, however, everything needs to be translated then you need to take the paperwork to the embassy of your nationality to be notarized. Once you have all of these documents completed, then the office you are filing from will make an appointment for you with Immigrations in Kyiv. It is a simple process and took less than three weeks. No bribes were asked, and none were paid. I know people will always be quick to bring up corruption. I have had business dealings with this country for years and never once paid a bribe. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, all I'm saying is no one has ever tried to muscle me. Once you have all documents in your possession, you register with your local police department. The temporary residence permit is good for two years since you are, or will be married to a local. During this period, you can go in and out of the country freely, however, you cannot legally work in Ukraine ... good luck

Awesome!
Thank you for the very informative info.
How long ago was that if you don't mind sharing?

Is it better to apply at the regional OVIR office or in Kiev?

The application and the other docs should be submitted to the subdivision of the State Migration Service by place of your residence. If you are registered in Rivne then you should submit in Rivne. Your application will be rejected in Kiev.

Will do
thanks

As I said, I applied in Kryvyi Rih and was registered locally. From there, I had to take all of my copies to Kyiv. Kryvyi Rih set up this appointment for me. I also registered my marriage documents in both offices. All of the other Expats that I know had to go by this same process.
